My cousin Sven plays the Aquarians in our campaign. He has a book where he writes down his ideas about them, but he never talks about it.
As a birthday present, last year in May, I asked him to reveal some information about the Aquarians.
He sent me a picture that shows two pages of his mysterious book.
On the left page it says:
Die Sage des Deukalion
On the right page there are several stars. Depicting large and small islands maybe?
- Deukalion war der Sohn des Prometheus (Titan) und der Pronoia ("Fürsorge")
- im Bronzenen Zeitalter war Zeus derart erbost über die Schlechtheit der Menschen, dass er sie mit der großen Flut austilgen will
- Prometheus befiehlt ihm und seiner Frau Pyrrha, ein Schiff zu bauen und sich damit zu retten
- sie landen auf dem Berg Parnassos, später auf dem Berg Othrys, schließlich auf dem Berg Aquarius
- an all diesen Orten bringen sie die Menschen zurück in die Welt, durch das Werfen von Steinen über die Schulter
- als Aquarius geht er nach seinem Tod in den Götterhimmel ein
- die ersten Menschen von Aquarius - Deukalions Volk, stammen direkt von ihm ab
Sven also sent me a text about his book:
"Behold the Codex Pontificis.
The Book of Books.
With all its myths and miracles.
Containing not only the Odyssey of the Aquarians and the founding of our Polis.
But telling where we the sons of Hellas came from and where we will go to.
Written by my priest predecessors.
And given to the people of Spiriopolis to treasure forever."
by Pontifex the Priest
Thank you, Sven.
Fascinating campaign material, I look forward to hearing more...
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad you like it. I hope my cousin will open another page of his book one day ...
